Sailors, firemen and cops, oh my! It’s prime time for NYC women looking to date a man in uniform
NY Post
There’s just something about a man in uniform.
Single women in New York City are marching to dating events featuring first responders as they ditch dating apps and search for a specific type of man to be their co-captain.
“It’s a different caliber of guy that you’re meeting at these events,” Amber Soletti, founder of Single and the City, told The Post of dating events she hosts like the Fleet Week Bash, where service members drink free for the first hour, and Rescue Me, which welcomes ladies to flirt exclusively with men who are firefighters, paramedics, EMTs or police.
The guaranteed guest list is what’s attracted Melissa Lopez, 36.
“Women are always drawn to men in uniform,” Queens resident Lopez told The Post.
“You know they have a good job,” she said. “And it just says something about their character. They would run into a burning building, literally, where people are running in the opposite direction. They’re brave, strong, courageous and would put somebody else first.”
